A few days ago I wrote about burnout and that I feel exhausted. Now I found a way to clear my mind completely so there is more disk space available for new ideas/thoughts.
The tool is called brainstorming
Every day one hour before I go to bed I take my tablet and start OneNote. Then I create a new page and just start to draw/write what currently comes into my mind.
The most important part is that I don't force myself what to think. I just note everything down that currently comes into my head.
This can be:
- Ideas for apps/software systems
- Innovative products/services
- Complex social challenges
- What is currently fucking me up
- What I achieved this day/week
This has two advantages:
- I process ideas by defining them through words
- My head is cleared when I go to sleep giving me a better quality sleep
OneNote
For this task I think it's one of the best tools available. While pen and paper gives you more freedom what you can draw/write and how you represent it there is also a space limit. This makes it very difficult to create a big brainstorm page.
On the other hand digital tools like Notion or Mindmapping software has limits in the representation of the information or ways of creating that are not that intuitively.
OneNote resolves the different problems by providing an infinite creation space combined with the flexibility of drawing and writing by using a pen.
